On the other hand, high production costs and low yield output may limit the potential applications of microcrystalline cellulose across various end-use industries. Market participants are emphasizing shifting their production bases to China, India, Vietnam, and Japan, due to the availability of raw materials at economical prices, the presence of skilled labor, and favorable regulations and government policies. Moreover, various market participants and research institutions are making investments to optimize the production of microcrystalline cellulose through non-wood-based pulp (such as agricultural wastes) for use as an alternative to high-value wood pulp.
By Material Type, Wood-Based Segment Dominates Microcrystalline Cellulose Market with a Lion’s Share
- On the basis of material type, wood-based microcrystalline cellulose is derived from wood pulp and the wood-based segment dominates the global market. The wood-based segment dominates the global market with a lion’s share; however, the non-wood-based segment is projected to witness lucrative growth backed by the increasing need for economical sources of MCC. This has resulted in the exploration of other lingo-cellulosic materials and such exploration activities are set to drive the growth of the non-wood based microcrystalline cellulose segment over the course of the forecast period
- On the basis of application, microcrystalline cellulose is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder and disintegrating agent, owing to its chemical inertness, non-toxicity, and bio-degradability. Another lucrative application of microcrystalline cellulose is in the food & beverage industry as an anti-caking agent and a fat alternative. Pharmaceutical and food & beverage segments collectively accounted for about 70% of the overall consumption of microcrystalline cellulose in 2017 and are expected to follow the same trend through the forecast period.
